Why this doesnt fire ng-repeat?

Question

My HTML

ng-app and ng-controller are specified in markup earlier

<div class="statusEntry" ng-repeat="statusInput in statusInputs">
 <span class="userName"> a </span>                
 <span  class="statusMsg"> b </span>                
</div>

Controller

app.controller('globalCtrl', ['$scope', function($scope) {
//someWork
pubnub.subscribe({
channel: "statuses",
callback:
function (data) {

    splitData = data.split(';');
    prepData = '{'+splitData[0]+','+splitData[1]+'}';
    statusInputs.push(prepData);
}
});

When I push the data no new object appears.

Could the problem be that this function is called from within PubNub ? — Slytherin, Mar 27 '14 at 18:42
i dont have ng-init in the markup anywhere, on ng-init the array is empty. — Slytherin, Mar 27 '14 at 18:44
@DanielBeck Im afraid not, but i dont know how to check it. Sorry if this is stupid question but i am just starting with Angular and already getting stuck — Slytherin, Mar 27 '14 at 18:48
what does `{{statusInputs|json}}` display? If it's not there, it is a problem getting your data nd you should close and reword your question since it has nothing to do with Angular and ng-repeat — Jason Goemaat, Mar 27 '14 at 19:16
@JasonGoemaat Looks like you're right. Any hint about how should i ask the correct question ? Should i ask "how to call angular function from pubnub" ? — Slytherin, Mar 27 '14 at 19:22
I've never used `pubnub` but I'm guessing it's a problem with that. Put `console.log` statements to make sure that's getting executed and your controller is getting loaded. Try the `pubnub.subscribe` on its own and put a `console.log` in the callback to see that you're getting the data. Check the `network` tab in chrome to see if any data is flowing. With that info you can narrow down what's not working. — Jason Goemaat, Mar 28 '14 at 22:02

Your Controller has no name.
You haven't declare an ng-app or ng-controller in your markup anywhere.
data should be named $scope so Angular can appropriately inject the dependency.
It doesn't look like either statusInputs or your function are part of the $scope therefore there's no way for your view to access them.

I only posted the function that works with the array, it is inside otherwise working controller – Slytherin Mar 27 '14 at 18:38

@Slytherin - It would be helpful if you posted a working example then. There's no telling what the problem might be in this case. – Justin Niessner Mar 27 '14 at 18:40

Replace

statusInputs.push(prepData);

with

$scope.statusInputs.push(prepData);

This is how you enable your views to access them.

`$scope.statusInputs` is undefined. – Slytherin Mar 27 '14 at 19:22
initiate with $scope.statusInputs = [] before the function call to pub nub.subscrite – CoderSpinoza Mar 27 '14 at 19:35
